More White Dishes

Thursday:  Yeah!  Another Creation!

Click here for Part 1: White Dishes
Part 2:  More White Dishes

I love white dishes - especially old antique dinnerware and serveware. 
 I don't want to pay for such treasures so I cheat and make my own.


The local thrift store always has stoneware goods for good deals.
These cute pitchers were .50 to $2.00 a piece.


More good stuff.


The make-over assembly line.
A coat of primer and white spray paint does the job well.


Oh, they are lovely!


More lovelies.








This is above the kids' lockers in our lanudry/mud room.  
I make do with what I have.
I love it!


Tweet tweet.








Oh, these canisters have seen better days.
Time for a change...





Beautiful!
Above the lockers on the other side of the mud room.


Kitchen cabinet turned into a dinnerware hutch.



FYI:
Not all my dinnerware is spray painted.  
It is not a good idea to actually use spray painted dinnerware due to paint toxins.  
It's just for pretty looks - and ain't it pretty?

  1. What a fantastic idea!! I was even thinking.. if you didn't want them all perfectly matching in color.. you could use different shades of white! LOVELY!!!
